The Angel Horn : Collected poems by Shake KeaneEllsworth McGranahan "Shake" Keane2005

Poetry. Music. An anthology of six previously unpublished manuscripts from "the grand egalitarian" Caribbean poet Shake Keane. One of the fathers of modern Caribbean poetry and winner of the Casa De Las Americas Prize for Poetry, Keane's poetry is overflowing with the jazz inflections and Caribbean freestyle of his poetic and musical roots. The poetic iconoclast and "musical chameleon" has been honored by his country St. Vincent & The Grenadines, with a life-size bust at the Peace Memorial Hall in Kingstown.

"THE ANGEL HORN...is vintage Shake Keane...spanning a period of 40 years, his mastery of the folk culture, play on words, use of nation language and of musical symbols and themes, and the integration of rhymes and riddles."—Dr. Adrian Fraser, University of the West Indies
